   Review - ClamAV

   0.84-1 (May 2, 2005)

   I'll note that everyone who is complaining about no real-time scanner - there isn't meant to be one in this package. ClamAV wasn't designed with that in mind - it was designed for UNIX/Linux servers and plugged into applications that can take advantage of it. My version follows in that tradition, which is why I've focused on making the Win version work as a plugin for various other applications. See the homepage for a list of applications which can integrate with it.

   Review - eMail2Pop

   3.0 Beta R2 (Jun 7, 2004)

   This kind of program is unnecessary at this point, due to the fact that AOL has now opened up their mail servers to both IMAP (imap.aol.com) and SMTP (smtp.aol.com).

   Review - LANWalk Scanner

   Interesting program, but let me give a little bit of advice to people who want to use this - Don't go scanning netblocks of IP addresses you don't own or manage. Many ISPs will terminate your service if they catch you doing netblock scans on other people's networks. Its considered rude and in some places, illegal.

   "I suppose that you are still using the same TV from 15 years ago, right?"
   
   Thats not the greatest example.
   
   I, like many other people I know, haven't felt it necessary to 'upgrade' our TVs to the new ones that are offered today.
   
   Why? Because newer isn't always better.
   
   The fact my 15 year old TV works just as good today as it did back then, whereas the TV I bought last year is dead as a doornail...

   "Well, we want to run over HTTP today, but we want to run over TCP tomorrow."
   
   Perhaps he should have worded it a little better, considering that HTTP does run over TCP...
   
   Sorry, just hate it when people define HTTP as being completely different then TCP.

   Look at it this way.
   
   Dumb Windows PC user sees two products side by side - they look exactly the same, one says Apple, the other says HP.
   
   Dumb Windows PC user sees the letters HP and they think to themselves, "I know that name!"
   
   Dumb Windows PC user picks up HP brand iPod because they don't know what Apple is, or they think it will only work with the Mac.
   
   Thats basically how it is.
   
   Ever notice how newbies who don't have a computer or are looking for a new one, and have been subjected to the Dell commercials, will go right for the Dell systems when they see them?
   
   Same type of thing.

   Lower cost to HP is a good reason. Apple has already done the R&D on the iPod, and has proven to be a highly regarded product.
   
   So not only does HP not have to reinvent the wheel, it saves on R&D costs, it saves on production costs, it is compatible with the software Apple already developed for both Mac and Windows.
   
   All of this translates to more profits for HP, and Apple gains a larger market share at the same time and makes money off of it as well.
   
   The other side of this, is knocks a blow at Microsoft Windows Media and associated devices.
